At least one person commented that they were having trouble seeing the image in this post. We decided to redo and expand the post, adding another ad to the photo gallery.

The first ad comes from a 1943 issue of Life Magazine. In it, Westinghouse is bragging up the gun stabilization system on the M4 Sherman. It’s probably fair to say that Westinghouse is exaggerating just a bit in this ad.

The second ad also comes from 1943 and is from the Chrysler Corporation. The tittle of the ad is “How to Jockey a General Sherman.”

This video featuring an extensively modified Ferret scout car is essentially a commercial for Toyo Tires. While we generally try not to post commercials, this one is too cool to pass up. For more information on this particular Ferret, click here.

A destroyed Russian KV-2. We don’t have a date for this picture but it’s probably safe to assume this picture was taken in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa. One can only imagine the power of the explosion that could toss such a heavy turret upside down.

ABCNews has a photo gallery from the March regional stage of the Tank Biathlon.

Here is a short videos showing footage from some of the other regional qualifying competitions:

The PotD is a M5 Stuart tank on display in DeKalb, Illinois. M5 Stuart tanks on display are not all that uncommon, but we decided to point this one out since a recent article noted that this tank, nicknamed “Donna”, is going to get a new paint job. Hat’s off to everyone in Dekalb who is donating time and money to repaint this historic vehicle.
